sured him a warm welcome. In the
rush of exercises, and the different
regimental reunions, there was not
time to perfect county organization,

o, greet each other again, dear old boys,
With hearts full of memories of the past,
OF soldiers hardships, mingled with soldiers

And friendship that shall forever last.

But hearts just young and fresh, dear old

Yes, love the old flag just WELL dear old boys,
We rejoice in the greatness of our land,
And bless the Lord of Hosts that the Union lives
A Union that shall forever stand.
Our children live in peace which we years ago,
Our land is still the land of the free
And 1T makes us glad and happy, don't it, dear old
boys,
To look upon the fruits of victory.
We will stand by each other, won't we dear old boys,
We will cheer each others waning hours,
We will cherish the memory of our comrades brave,
The boys who lie sleeping meath the flowers.
And when our meetings all ended here below,
When ended is life's feeting day,
May all meet in heaven above, dear old boys,
Where sorrow and signing fee away
